"Emiya, the in-flight food here is really unpalatable. โ Eight โ Eight โ Read โ Books, .โฆ.oโง"
After getting off the plane, Erina was still complaining to Li Xiang about the meals that had just been served on the plane.
"Erina, how many times have you complained. Isn't it something you want to eat yourself? It's just a taste, just take it once in a while, forget it. Let's find a place to stay and settle down before we inquire about Mr. Seiichiro's whereabouts. โ
Li wanted to take advantage of his body's original owner's knowledge of the local area, coupled with the fact that he was able to give hard currency dollars now that inflation was serious, and found a good hotel to live in temporarily.
At Erina's request, the two opened only one room.
In Erina's original words, with Li Xiang's consistent style, she doesn't have to worry about being toukui at all, even if she accidentally looks at it in front of Li Xiang, she probably won't take a look.
Li Xiang almost hehe, this is gentlemanly etiquette Okay, why did it become a statement in your mouth as if you were not a man.
But from a security point of view, this isn't a bad proposition. At this time, the situation in Damascus was chaotic, and the public security was not good, and it was naturally incomparable with the Great Celestial Empire, where Li Xiang once lived.
"I was sweating a lot, so I went to take a shower first."
As soon as she entered the room, Erina couldn't wait to run into the bedroom.
"Wow, this bedroom is so small."
"It's just a pretty good hotel, the conditions are limited, it can't provide luxury baths and bathhouses, and the water resources here are relatively tight, so you can bear with it first."
Li Xiang silently stuffed the large box containing the weapon under the bed. By the way, I took advantage of this time to check whether there were any monitoring equipment such as needles and kongshexiang heads in the room.
Thanks to the major media in the real world and various self-media reports, Li Xiang has developed the habit of tearing up the part of the label with his information written on it when receiving a package, and checking the electronic equipment as soon as he checks into a hotel or hostel.
After Li Xiang checked it around, he didn't find any problems. So he began to pack his belongings.
At the airport and on his way here, he asked staff, passers-by and drivers about rumors of a middle-aged chef with a very high level of cooking skills recently.
Seiichiro Xinghei is worthy of being a legendary-level chef, and after some inquiry, Li Xiang really got a little bit of news about the other party's itinerary.
Comparing the map he had just bought and the news he had heard, Li wanted to mark and connect the places that the other party had been to on the map one by one. Judging from the direction of this line, the place where the other party will go next happens to be near Li Xiang's destination.
After coming to such a conclusion, Li Xiang was quite satisfied.
Since the distance between the two locations is not very far, maybe he can work an extra night shift and solve his own affairs, and try not to affect Erina as much as possible.
"Emiya, I've washed it, you can use it."
Erina wiped her long hair, which was still dripping, as she walked out of the bathroom.
Li Xiang was attracted by the other party's voice, looked up, and found that the other party was only loosely wrapped in a bath towel, and hurriedly turned his head over.
"There's someone of the opposite sex in the room, can't you put on your clothes and come out? Erina! โ
"Why are you as chattering as the maid in the house? With so little space in the bathroom, where can I put my clothes? As for the opposite sex, you don't dare to look at it anyway, isn't it the same when I come out to change clothes? โ
"Miss, don't underestimate the nature of men, I'...... Well, I really don't dare to look at it. cโฎ8cโฎ8cโฎ read cโฎ book, .โ.oโ"
Li Xiang decisively admitted. Although he has a wealth of theoretical knowledge, as an honest chunan, he really doesn't have that kind of skin, and at this critical juncture, he doesn't want to lose the trust of the Nagi family.
"I'll just say, I'll change my clothes now, you either go out first, or turn your head to the back, just give me 5 minutes."
Yu stayed in the room and was tormented by the sound, Li Xiang chose to go out for the time being to avoid the limelight.
"What's wrong with Erina, suddenly so open? Could it be that I was suppressed by my nature to stay at home before, and now I suddenly run outside and overkill? โ
Leaning against the wall next to the door, Li couldn't think about it.
As everyone knows, Erina in the room is having red cheeks at this time.
This operation just now is basically the limit of what Erina can do at this time. However, for a steel coward like Li Xiang, it may have the opposite effect. At least Li Xiang didn't think about it in that direction at all.
try{mad1('gad2'); } Catch(ex){} adjusted her mentality a little, and Erina quickly put on a change of clothes.
"Alright, you come in."
"Hmm." Hearing the sound in the room, Li Xiang turned around and entered the room, and closed the door with his hand, "Miss, take a look at the map I put on the table." โ
"Map, what's wrong?"
"Based on where Mr. Seiichiro has been in the past, I have predicted where he will go in the future. Because I spent a lot of time on the plane, it was already a little late today. Tomorrow we will follow the direction indicated on this map and go all the way to the west, and we should be able to find Mr. Seiichiro. โ
"I don't have any opinion, just do what you want. But what about dinner today? No, it's not just dinner, I'm a little hungry now, and I barely ate anything at noon. โ
"I guess I can't get used to the food provided by the hotel, so why don't we borrow the kitchen from the boss or the surrounding people and make it ourselves."
Li Xiang gave his own proposal.
"That's not bad, then Emiya congratulate you, you've got the right to be tasted with Miss Ben's help, cheer."
"Okay, okay, then I'll do it."
I want to be able to go to bed earlier and recharge my batteries. Li Xiang didn't plan to quarrel with Erina, so he simply took over the matter.
"Comrade Emiya, you are very conscious, then I will leave it to you! I'll go shopping with you later. โ
"It's okay, I can go alone, miss, you can wait in the room for a while."
Li Xiang grabbed hundreds of dollars in cash and went to a nearby market.
Because of the war, prices have risen rapidly. On the other hand, the variety of ingredients in the market has decreased a lot, and even the quality has decreased.
Since he began to learn cooking skills systematically, Li Xiang's sense of taste has become a lot more picky, and it took a lot of time for Li Xiang to select the ingredients he needs and the quality is relatively satisfactory.
Now if Li wants to go back, he doesn't need to follow those aunt-level fruit killers to "pick up leaks", he can tell them by himself.
I remember that every time he went out to pick watermelons for himself and his sister in the summer, he had to wait for Mrs. Zhang, who was famous for shrewdness in the community, to buy them first.
Mrs. Zhang will pick a few of the watermelons out of the pile to enter the "semi-finals", and then carefully distinguish them. After she finally took the "champion" watermelon to check out, Li Xiang only needed to take the "runner-up" directly, and for so many years, relying on this method, Li Xiang has never missed a pick.
Now his eyes are even more poisonous than Mrs. Zhang's. The same selection may only take a few seconds. Of course, this is all off topic.
After tipping the innkeeper ten dollars with these ingredients, Li Xiang successfully borrowed them from the kitchen and simply used his cooking skills to process the ingredients he could buy into dishes.
Although he didn't put much thought into it, Li Xiang's cooking was not completely denied by Erina. After all, in order to live, you always need to fill in your stomach.
After eating, Erina quickly fell asleep due to a tiring day of traveling.
After confirming that the other party had indeed fallen asleep, Li Xiang carefully left the room. After leaving the hotel, along a long and winding path, Li Xiang found a tavern.
It is not difficult to inquire about a well-known chef with excellent cooking skills, but the news that Li Xiang wants to inquire about the anti-orthodox armed "Green Scorpion" is not so simple.
"Boss, have a glass of Bloody Mary."
"I'm sorry, the price of food has risen a lot, and even the price of wine has risen a lot, I don't know if you can accept it?"
"It's okay, bring me a drink first. It's true when you're drunk. โ
Li Xiang swaggered and sat down on the stool in front of the bar.
"Does the gentleman need a trash can for stuff?"
"Of course you do, the bigger the better. Too many problems with trash cans? โ
"What's the problem?"
After confirming the code with each other, the bartender stopped wiping the glass on his hand and looked at Li Xiang waiting for the other party's question.
"There is only one big question, may I ask the 'green scorpion'" where is the main stronghold now?

The next day, when Erina woke up from her sleep, she saw Li Xiang holding a map and studying it carefully.
"What are you looking at?"
Erina patted Li Xiang on the shoulder from behind.
"Oh, I'm looking at today's itinerary."
Li Xiang quietly put down the map and pushed a few boxes in front of Erina.
"I've made breakfast, you eat first, and we'll leave when we're done."
Erina opens the box, which contains a Turkish-style omelet. Roasted onions and peppers are thoroughly cooked with tomatoes and finally mixed with eggs, herbs, parsley, pepper, and root red pepper.
try{mad1('gad2'); From the beginning of cooking, Li Xiang used his ability to maintain the temperature of the food, so that the food in the box still maintained the freshly baked taste.
"Oh? Turkish-style food? It's pretty fresh. โ
Erina saw the contents of the box and whispered.
"There are unique cuisines in each place, and maybe Mr. Seiichiro learned this to travel the world and keep learning to enrich himself."
Li Xiang took a sip of coffee and said.
After having breakfast in Erina, the two left the hotel.
At the door of the hotel, Li Xiang led Erina to an off-road vehicle.
"Put the suitcase in the back seat, it's empty anyway, and then you can't put it in the trunk."
Glancing at the absence of anyone in the driver's seat, Erina was surprised:
"Huh? Wait, wait, let's drive? โ
"yes? Is there something wrong? โ
"When did you find the car?"
Li wanted to put his box in the car, and then took the box in Erina's hand and put it in the car as well.
"It's almost nine o'clock local time now. I woke up earlier than you to get these preparations, isn't it easy to rent a car? โ
"But do you have a driver's license?"
"If you want a driver's license, there is always a way, whether you have a driver's license or not is not proportional to your driving skills, Miss Erina, don't worry, I drive very steadily."
"Why is there always an ominous premonition?"
Erina's right eyelid jumped for no reason.
Under Li Xiang's assurance, Erina still got into the car, and the most important thing was that Li Xiang's words moved her.
"There are not many people and cars here, especially when you go out of the city, you can't necessarily see a single populated person for hundreds of meters, even beginners can drive."
This is a big truth, and as early as in the real world, Li Xiang has systematically studied and obtained a driver's license, and his driving skills are not bad, not to mention that Hong A has accumulated a lot of driving experience in his long combat career, and it is not a problem to drive a car.
As for the driver's license, in this realm where the situation and law and order are extremely chaotic, as long as you have money, let alone a driver's license, a birth certificate is not a problem.
Although Erina was a little apprehensive, in fact, nothing happened along the way, and Li Xiang said that he was very stable and really not wrong.
That afternoon, they were in another city hundreds of kilometers away, and according to what they had heard, Seiichiro Kohei had recently been working in a hotel here.
Since Seiichiro only appears on the night shift at nightfall, Li Xiang and Erina will have to wait here for a while longer.
"It's too boring to wait for someone in the car, let's go shopping."
Hearing that there would be a few hours to wait, Erina suggested.
Since coming to this strange and foreign country, I don't know if it's my own delusion, Li Xiang feels that Erina seems to have become more lively.
But it's a bit boring to stay in the car, especially in a place where the signal isn't even very good. You can't even kill time with your phone. Why don't you just listen to Erina and walk around.
Li Xiang found a shady spot to park, brought some cash, and got out of the car with Erina.
There was a market nearby, and the two of them walked down the main road of the market.
Along the street, there are many stalls selling clothing, food, and some daily necessities.
For the discerning Tongue of the Gods, the food sold by these vendors is quite fresh, but apparently, these snacks cannot pass through her Tongue of the Gods. As a result, the food that Erina bought with her interest ended up in Li Xiang's stomach without exception.
"Wow, that bracelet over there looks so good!"
"Erina, you waitโalas, boss, the girl just had something in her hand to settle the bill."
Outside of food, Erina is clearly more interested in small things like clothing.
It may be that as the daughter of a rich family, she has never experienced the activity of shopping with friends since she was a child, and today's Erina is like a dragon crossing the river, and even Li Xiang, who has a heroic physique, was almost thrown off, no, it has been thrown off.
Because Erina took away the goods, Li Xiang, who left the checkout, had just finished settling the account, and when he looked up, he found that Erina was gone.
"Alas, really, I didn't see this kid so uneasy when I was in Japan."
Li Xiang sighed, lowered his head and secretly started the technique. 11...Friends who read books, you can search for "blue Chinese network", you can find this site as soon as possible.
